Ascent Trip Report

Start: from NE, Chalet de Brame-Farine, 5km from Allevard, road then good forest track, parking at junction

Route: follow “red” path SW for c. 500m; summit should be 200m further S in trees.

Difficulties: none (other than looking in the wrong place for the summit!)

Trig point: 1210m mapped at Telecom tower, but not found – very brief search in pouring rain.

Notes: 100k map has height as 1210m at trig; sign near SSW summit displays height of 1204m with adjacent forest maybe 2-3m higher. www.bivouak.net gives 1205m. Heavy rain and dusky conditions not conducive to exploration, but unclear where the listed 1230m summit would be. Failed to obtain 1:25k map locally en route. Jonathan de Ferranti has since provided a 1:25k extract which indicates the summit is c. 700m SW of Chalet de Brame-Farine – I did not go there :-(
